What is the importance of ice wedging?

Biology
1 answer:
emmainna [20.7K]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Ice wedging is a very common type of weathering. The reason ice wedging is so common is because water in its liquid form can make its way into even the smallest of cracks; even cracks too small to see! Once there, the freezing, expanding water causes the crack to widen, which fills with even more water and refreezes.

What are the common promoter elements found in eukaryotic genes, and how are they different from enhancer elements?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

In eukaryotic cells you find core and proximal promoters.

Promotors are specific DNA sequences where transcription factors (proteins) and RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription. Promotors are located upstream the coding sequence

Core promoters are where RNA polymersae binds and proximal promoters are where transcription factors bind.

Enhancer elements are DNA sequences where transcription factors (proteins) bind to increase the rate of expresion of an specific gene. Enhancers can be located either upstream,  downstream or thousands of nucleotids away  from the of the coding region.

Explanation:

Promoters and enhancer are key elements for controling gene regulation. Transcription begins when chromatin rearranges from a condensed state to a accesible state, this allow to transcrition factors and RNA polymerase to  bind specif DNA sequences (promotors).  Proteins bind to enhancers , this complex develops a DNA loop, so that the protein that is bound to the enhancer interacts with the RNA polymersase. When this interaction is made, the activity of the RNA polymerase is increased.

What statement best describes an independent variable?
prisoha [69]
<span>Answer : D. The factor that's changed by the experimenter and impacts the dependent variable.<span>

</span><span>An independent variable is a variable in which you can manipulate or control while the dependent variable depends on the independent variable. An example of an independent variable is the running while the dependent variable is your pulse rate. The pulse rate depends on how fast and how long is the distance of your run. The pulse rate maybe higher and faster if you’ve run quite long and will be close to stable if you only run for a short distance and slow speed.</span></span>

Answer:

The high specific heat of water caused by hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of a substance is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of that substance by one degree Celsius (1° C).

Due to the hydrogen bonding present in water, water has a high specific heat capacity of 4184 Joules per kilogram. This means that, water has to absorb 4,184 Joules of heat for the temperature of one kilogram of water to increase 1°C. When compared to other substances such as metals, this is very high. For example, the specific heat capacity of copper is 385  Joules per kilogram which means that it only takes 385 Joules of heat to raise 1 kilogram of copper 1°C.

Therefore water, can absorb a large quantity of heat with very little changes in its temperature. This property of water helps the oceans and seas to serve as heat reservoirs by absorbing a large quantity of heat in hotter seasons and releasing these heat in colder seasons.
